Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you suggest for a RSP portfolio, starting from a cash balance of 150K, an array of 5 ETFs, covering Canadian and US/International sectors.
Would VGG selling in CAD qualify for the exemption of US taxes, or does it need to be a US traded ETF to qualify.
Take as many questions credit as needed.
Thank you.

Q: This is in response to Dean's question about the tax treatment of Irish companies like MDT. I hold MDT in a non-registered account and the withholding taxes can be claimed back against my Canadian taxes. The MDT withholding taxes are reported on the T5 as foreign dividend income. In the past, I learned the hard way that taxes are deducted from dividends received from non-US foreign companies held inside an RRSP. I don’t have any knowledge of tax treaties, but that's my experience.

Q: It was mentioned in the 31 March 2025 end quarterly report that the company is buying out some asset back from Endo for 100-mil plus inventory. Do you think that the asset which company purchased will do well as Endo acquired it and kept it. Now they are disposing it. Is company found them not valuable enough to generate good return? If that is the reason then why GUD bought it? Will GUD manage to generate good return out of it?
Thanks

Q: Are there any advantages to buying a physical gold bar at Costco vs holding in through an etf such as GLD?
Secondly, notwithstanding the incredible recent run up in the commodity and the miners, what is your outlook on gold for the next 5 to 10 years?
Lastly, if the sector is still appealing to you, would you buy the commodity etf, a seniors etf or a juniors etf?

Thank you and please deduct credits as you deem fit.
